Does Best Western allow pets?

Part of Best Western Hotels & Resorts.

Weight limit across the chain
80 lb

Figures as published by Best Western in its own pet policy.

Best Western states that it welcomes dogs at many of its hotels, with over 1,200 pet friendly hotels in North America and over 2,100 worldwide, and that pet friendly hotels allow up to two domestic dogs in a rented room with a maximum size of 80 lbs. per animal. Best Western states that many hotels will also accept cats, birds and other small animals, but that guests should verify with the hotel before the stay because policies vary by hotel. No chain-wide fee amount or range is published, so fees are set at the individual hotel level.

This is the group policy, not one hotel's price

Best Western lets each property set its own fee, so the figures above are the chain's position and not what any given hotel charges. Check the hotel's own page for its terms, and confirm with the front desk when you book.
